Plaintiff,
MINUTES OF THE COURT
v.
HOWARD SKOLNIK, et al.,
Defendants.
PRESENT:
December 12, 2014
THE HONORABLE VALERIE P. COOKE, U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE
DEPUTY CLERK:
LISA MANN
REPORTER: NONE APPEARING
COUNSEL FOR PLAINTIFF(S): NONE APPEARING
COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT(S): NONE APPEARING
MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
Before the court is plaintiff’s motion (#392) to stay the deadline for his opposition to
defendant’s motion to dismiss (#387). Plaintiff requests a stay, pending the court’s ruling on his
motion to strike defendants’ motion to dismiss (#391). Defendants oppose (#401).
The court DENIES plaintiff’s motion (#392). Because plaintiff is an experienced
litigant, the court presumes that he is familiar with Local Rule 7-2(d), under which the failure to
timely oppose a motion constitutes consent thereto. Rather than construing his failure as
consent, the court will allow plaintiff until December 22, 2014 to oppose the motion to dismiss.
Defendants’ reply shall be due on or by January 2, 2015.
Plaintiff is advised that the court will extend no further leniency for his failures to comply
with filing deadlines simply because other pending motions may modify such deadlines. In other
words, if plaintiff exercises his right to file a motion to stay in the future, he should not assume
that the filing of such motion excuses the deadline sought to be stayed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
LANCE S. WILSON, CLERK
